The Orfordness Lighthouse, in Suffolk, is 10 meters from the sea after the gap halved over the past four years. Nicholas Gold, of the Orfordness Lighthouse Trust, said a £10,000 appeal had been set up [l]for urgent repairs. Storms forecast for this week pose a "real risk" of causing "significant damage" to the lighthouse. "If the work is not carried out in the next few weeks, the lighthouse will, in all likelihood, not be standing in a year’s time," said Mr. Gold.
The lighthouse was purchased by Mr. Gold three years ago from Trinity House, the country’s general lighthouse authority. The Trust has spent £20,000 upholding the sea defences over the past two years. But it said a long-term solution was necessary involving building a steel wall around the front of the lighthouse and its outbuildings—at a cost of about £190,000.
1 What is the purpose of raising the money of £10,000?
2 What has the Trust done to the lighthouse?

A、It has built a steel wall against sea erosion.

某些种类的海豚利用回声定位来发现猎物:它们发射出滴答的声音,然后接收水域中远处物体反射的回音。海洋生物学家推测这些滴答声可能有另一个作用:海豚用异常高频的滴答声使猎物的感官超负荷,从而击晕近距离的猎物。以下哪项如果为真,最能对上述推测构成质疑?
